Beetle Mask Story
|
A beetle who turned into a human wished to have a parka so she could get a husband. She went to a village and entered a house where a woman was seated on the floor. The beetle traded her skin for the woman's parka. The woman tried to walk but her skin was too stiff, so she crawled on the floor and soon discovered that she had turned into a beetle. In the evening the woman crawled under the oil lamp. When the oil dripped on the skin it sprang open and the woman stepped out. She grabbed her own parka from the beetle and pushed her out of the house.
